ADA level boarding between car and platform is addressed.
o Structural system is established and dimensioned.
o Design interfaces among disciplines are defined on drawings, in standards, design
criteria, specifications and contract package scopes.
o The drawing package consists of site plans, floor plans, longitudinal and cross sections,
elevations and details illustrating typical and special conditions; finish schedules;
SCC 30 Support Facilities: Yards, Shops and Admin Buildings
• Major or critical operational, maintenance (heavy and light, wayside, facilities and vehicle),
fire/life safety, security and logistics (spares, rebuild, training, documentation) requirements
whether in the existing system or extension that result from the project have been defined.
o Support facility architecture is established. Building footprints are defined as is site
access for pedestrians, bicycles and motorized vehicles; building floor plans show
vertical circulation systems including stairs, elevators, work bays, support spaces for
mechanical and maintenance access, etc.; building sections and elevations illustrate the
relationship to grade (below, on-grade, elevated structure); mechanical, electrical and
communications systems are described including drainage, piped utilities, heating
ventilation and air conditioning, power and lighting, fire/life safety including NFPA 130
requirements and security systems.

SCC 40 Sitework and Special Conditions
• Major drainage facilities, flood control, housing types, street crossings, traffic control,
utilities, are defined and physical limits and interfaces identified, based upon site specific
surveying with digitized data integrated into alignment base mapping, plan profiles.
• Major or critical engineering decisions and design solutions are defined including
rehabilitation or reuse of existing structures, facilities or systems including but not limited to
the following:
o Pre-construction, site reconnaissance, geotechnical and soil resistivity surveys are
complete;
o Ground subsidence and structural protections issues have been resolved;
o Structural elements are advanced beyond simple span design, or simply supported.
o Major or critical work details, structural element dimensions, design interfaces and
physical interfaces are complete and well defined in terms of drawings, standards,
criteria, specifications and contract package scopes.
o Mass balance diagrams complete for vertical alignments on fill or cut supported by
complete site specific surveys and soil investigations, identification of buried structures
and utilities; Taking into account the presence of contaminated soils which would have
